My sister and I made snow angels in the front yard of our family's Lincoln rancher to celebrate Nebraska's victory over LSU in the Orange Bowl, which led to the Huskers' first national title.

50 years ago one of the best all time teams won the National Title in the Orange 
Bowl against Alabama..
Bowl against Alabama..I thought we were supposed to stop remembering the past? But that’s coming from Iowa fans which they have no history so carry on. I vaguely remember the 1971 orange bowl just remember dad cussing about the penalties. Some things never change Nebraska getting screwed on officiating
Why would any Husker fan not reminisce about National Titles?
Just because Ioway fan like putting the past in our face but they never had any history to reminisce over except a 1959 Rose Bowl against a 4 loss Cal team..
Living in Iowa, I know those people are used to a joyless existence, so it's important for them to foist that attitude on the rest of us. I choose happiness over Iowa-ness.

Ain't No Sunshine (In Iowa)
Ain't no sunshine in Des Moines
It's not warm in Waterloo
Ain't no sun in Crapids, too
And it's gray in Iowa City
All the time it's mad ******
Wonder why I moved this far east?
To the state I love the least
Ain't no sunshine in Des Moines
And this house just ain't no home
Because it's in Io-way
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Iowa
Hey I oughta leave this frigid state
Because there ain't no sunshine in Des Moines, woh woh
I covered that game for the Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale, back when newspapers had money to send reporters to random bowl games.
The guy you can see before clicking on the video looks like he's 40 years old. He's LSU's starting tailback.
My dad took me to the '71 Orange Bowl. He got tickets at the last minute so we were seated closer to LSU fans than our section.
Tiger fans kept screaming for us to,*Go back to your farms!" When it was announced Nebraska farmers had trucked a ton hay to their state to help during a time of need the Tiger fans gave us a standing O.

In 1970, 61.5 percent of Nebraska's population lived in urban areas. Today it's 73.1 percent. I've never lived on a farm, yet I have to deal with perception everywhere I've lived. The irony is that my wife is from Maryland, and everyone assumes she's some city slicker, but she grew up on a farm.Tiger fans kept screaming for us to,*Go back to your farms!"

Even in Nebraska, agriculture represents only about 1 or 2% of the state's total output. Not saying it's not an important industry, but sometimes it has more influence on state and local politics than it should.
Biggest thing is how your state is represented by the media for instant Nebraska we’re portrayed as corn fields and cattle, completely ignoring what Lincoln and Omaha have to offer
That number is included with processing, and I guarantee processing makes up the majority of that. Agriculture itself makes up a very small portion of overall production.
